The platforms which support only IOAPIC mode and whose SCI INT is
greater than 16, passes SCI INT via FADT and not via MADT int src override
structure. In such cases current logic fails to handle it and throws error
"Invalid bus_irq %u for legacy override". This patch handles the above
 mentioned case. While at it, also modify function mp_override_legacy_irq()
to use the newly introduced function mp_register_ioapic_irq().

This series is rebased on 'master' branch of
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rafael/linux-pm.git

Changes since v1:
Patch is split into 2, separating actual fix and code cleanup
as suggested by Rafael.

Up to this point the changelog is informative. It just lacks the
information WHY the current logic fails to handle it.

This part is completely useless. You should at least explain the concept of
the fix, not the details (they can be seen from the code).

Let me give you an example:

 Platforms which support only IOAPIC mode pass the SCI information of
 interrupts above the legacy space (0-15) via the FADT mechanism and not
 via MADT, i.e. the table parser ends up calling acpi_sci_ioapic_setup().

 acpi_sci_ioapic_setup() uses mp_override_legacy_irq() to register SCI
 interrupts, which fails for interrupts >= 16, because it only handles
 interrupts 0-15.

 Provide a separate function to handle SCI interrupts >= 16 and invoke it
 conditional in acpi_sci_ioapic_setup().

 This creates some code duplication, which will be cleaned up in a separate
 patch.

See?

Which is obviously not the case.

I know you copied that, but please get rid of the extra line and sort the
variables in reverse fir tree fashion, i.e.:

	struct mpc_intsrc mp_irq;
	int ioapic, pin;

That takes less space and is better to read/parse.

Please make this a one line comment. It's useful, but not that important to
stand out.

Please get rid of these tail comments. First of all tail comments are
disturbing the reading flow. Secondly these comment have exactly zero value.

> +	mp_irq.dstapic = mpc_ioapic_id(ioapic); /* APIC ID */
> +	mp_irq.dstirq = pin;	/* INTIN# */

except for this one, but that information should go into that other comment
above, i.e.:

       /* Convert 'gsi' to ioapic.pin (INTIN#) */

Other than these more formal nitpicks, the patch is fine.

yes, It should be >=16. Will modify it.

Sure, will remove this part.

Let me give you an example:

 Platforms which support only IOAPIC mode pass the SCI information of  interrupts above the legacy space (0-15) via the FADT mechanism and not  via MADT, i.e. the table parser ends up calling acpi_sci_ioapic_setup().

 acpi_sci_ioapic_setup() uses mp_override_legacy_irq() to register SCI  interrupts, which fails for interrupts >= 16, because it only handles  interrupts 0-15.

 Provide a separate function to handle SCI interrupts >= 16 and invoke it  conditional in acpi_sci_ioapic_setup().

 This creates some code duplication, which will be cleaned up in a separate  patch.

See?
Thanks for the example. Will give details on why the current logic fails and high level view of the fix.

No. As I explained above. The Signed-off-by is a chain. The first one is
from the author. The following ones are from people who handled,
transported or applied the patch.

See Documentation/process/submitting-patches.rst the chapter:

  Developer's Certificate of Origin 1.1

for further clarification.

Unfortunately we have no canonical way to express joint develoment, but we
have used non formal tags for that, like

     Co-developed-by:

which give credits to the people who were involved in the development.

Thanks,
